Take a look at my automatic, magnetic dreidel that I had custom made by
a local inventor:

It is a single magnet that actually has 4 poles, and when put on an
axel, to spins around just like a driedel. At least when I rotate
another magnet around underneath it.

Makes magnets just like these and they are called Quadrupoles. They
charge upwards of 10k for each magnet they make, but even there magnets
won't do what my magic magnetic motor does. You can still see a
picture of how they work at this site and get an idea of what is going
on in my magnets.

And if you watch my other video you can see the prototype design for
the final product, and get an even better idea of what's going on under
the hood.

I actually designed this Quadrupole magnet after a Dreidel.

Happy Hollidays!!!
